  abstract  = {Alkynes and phenol diazonium salts undergo a Pd-catalyzed [2+2+1] cyclization reaction to spiro[4,5]decatetraene-7-ones. This structure was confirmed for one example by X-ray single-crystal structure analysis. The reaction is believed to proceed through oxidative addition of the phenol diazonium cation to Pd(0), subsequent insertion of two alkynes, followed by irreversible spirocyclization.},

  abstract  = {Acetanilides can be deacetylated and diazotized in situ, and subsequently used in Pd-catalyzed coupling reactions without isolation of the diazonium intermediate. Heck reactions, Suzuki cross-coupling reactions, and a Pd-catalyzed [2+2+1]cycloaddition have been investigated as terminating CC bond-forming steps of this one-flask sequence. The sequence does not require the exchange of solvents or removal of by-products between the individual steps, but proceeds by addition of reagents and catalysts in due course.},
